What does name mean in this context? The uri is the "name" of a Source. For a webdav source I would expect getName() to return the value of the DAV:displayname property. You can't calculate a uri from this. So you need really getChildrenURIs to create a directory listing. Must a TraversableSource always have a hierarchical URI space? > Another question, can we rename > boolean isDirectory(); > to > boolean isCollection(); > > This will be more coherent to > Collection getChildrenSources() A TraversableSource is not a java.util.Collection. isCollection could cause confusion here.
